View Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever)'s profile |
A live, improvised sound collage experiment, going back 28 years, weaving mesmerizing new soundscapes from found and collected materials right in the present moment.
Pop music, speeches, live phone calls and spontaneous monologues become ambient loopy layered threads riding the liminal spaces between waking and dreaming. [On hiatus.]

When adjusting browser window size horizontally to be smaller, going from either left or right, everything at the top and the comments area adapts with line-breaks, etc. to stay "whole" and visible, but the actual playlist grid stays same size/layout and gets covered up by the comments stack as it slides across. Eventually, at the max horiz adjustment it'll let me do, the left section of the playlist is only visible to half the "Format" column.
On Irwin's now-active playlist, his 3 columns do reduce themselves horizontally to stay visible.
On David W now-active playlist, the horizontal adjustment will have comment area moving over to cover just his far-right DJ comment column.
Make sense?

Is auto-scroll/arrow thing working for you? It's supposed to auto-scroll to next comment if you're already at the bottom, or fade the arrow into view if you're not at the bottom, and then arrow disappear after you scroll to bottom or after you click it, which also scrolls to bottom.

When I go sideways, I get playlist and it makes some right-side space for comment column but there's nothing there in that column, just bg color without any text, lines, boxes, borders.
I can do the back and forth full-screen from list to comments if holding phone in vertical orientation.
